Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I replaced the omni-directional antenna that came with my ActionTec (FiOS) router with this one. Using the unscientific measure of "number of bars" as measured by my iPhone, every reading in my house either stayed the same or improved by one. Since there are only three bars total that is, in my mind, a big improvement.
As an aside, I thought I could further improve things by moving the antenna from the back of the router which is on the floor behind a TV to the top of the TV. I did that with a Hawking RP-SMA TO RJ-SMA ( HAC7SS ) cable and some duct tape (to hold the base of the antenna to the upper back of the TV). In that case things went back to the level of the original antenna. Apparently whatever benefit there was from moving the antenna to what I thought was a better location was more than offset from loss introduced by the additional wire and connector.
Bottom line: if you use this to replace your original antenna then the signal will likely improve. If you make other changed the results could go either way.
BTW, I feel that honest, effective reviews take the place of first-hand experiences that are lacking in online shopping. I've always appreciated the help I've gotten from other reviewers and continue to return the favor as best as I can.
